Palestinians’ Greatest Return in History

Tens of thousands of Palestinians are travelling back to the devastated neighborhoods of northern Gaza after being displaced during the Israel-Hamas war, as a fragile 42-day ceasefire moves into a second week.

Israeli troops stepped away from large parts of the Netzarim Corridor that divides the north of the territory from the south to enable them to pass on Monday, at first on foot and later by car.

They are leaving behind temporary camps lacking adequate sanitation and food and water supplies, but will arrive at their former homes in an area largely reduced to wreckage.
